| Jan. 5, 2016 gonz 51 posts | Where do you play during the winter month's? I know it sounds like a dumb question but I'd like to know where the guys play during the winter months. Do you guys just travel to the play tournaments where it isn't snowing or do you guys have like an indoor place that you guys can play at. I guess this question is for the guys in the north or wherever there is snow so you can't play on any fields. When does your season start? Just thought I'd ask. Mahalo Sherwin Gonzales Hawaiians |

| Jan. 5, 2016 gonz 51 posts | Hi Fred, So is it an indoor complex for softball only? We don't have that here. Its only rain and storms that we got here to worry about. So if you gonna play you guys gotta travel? Sherwin Gonzales Hawaiians |

After that lots of weight room, volleyball and pickle ball. Then to top off my conditioning program a beer and cigar at eddie fabros garage once a week. |

| Jan. 7, 2016 gonz 51 posts | how can you hit balls in weather that cold? I heard that bats break when the temps get below the 50's. Sherwin Gonzales |
| Jan. 7, 2016 Dancer 115 posts | I live in South Texas and winters are not bad here. If it is below 50, I don't use my senior bat. I use my Worth 454. |
| Jan. 8, 2016 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | My senior bats hibernate in winter. I have very old hunk of metal bats for that. |
| Jan. 9, 2016 stick8 1992 posts | Here in Michigan there are indoor leagues for young mans ball but no senior leagues that I'm aware of. There is a soccer dome where a bunch of senior players swing twice a week in the morning. There are also several indoor batting cage facilities where one can take swings. |
